Every car enthusiast in Chicago knows the legend of the backwards "K", the Nickey Chevrolet dealership on the northwest side. This spring evening in 1962 the OK used car lot is busy. Anxious buyers take cars out to test drive up and down Irving Park Road. The 1959 SCCA Corvette "Purple People Eater" is rolled out for promotional purposes.

The Stephani brothers loved to go racing to promote the delaership and it did not matter which kind as Nickey sponsored stock cars plus racers in the SCCA and NHRA. Their list of drivers included: A.J. Foyt, Jim Jeffords and Dick Harrell. Only 950 prints plus 95 artist proofs are published. Each print measures 18" x 26", on 22" x 28" acid free 100 lb cover stock and is inspected, signed and numbered by the artist.
